Chapter 65- Uchiha Itachi: Just an emotionless killer or a caring shinobi?!

'Normal thought...'

"Kyuubi/ Bijuu speech..."

'Kyuubi communicating with Naruko inside her head...'

"Normal speech..."

Jutsu name...

-----------------------------------------------------------

Itachi and Kakashi glared at each other. 'He still has the same eyes... Those are the eyes of a true Sharingan successor. So, I must be prepared for the worst.' Kakashi thought utterly serious.

"Impressive... That's why he has the same Jutsu as mine..." Kisame said amused as he looked at the other Kakashi, that was standing before Asuma. "I never thought I'd see someone other than Itachi with those eyes... That said, you must be the Copy ninja Kakashi..."

"Surprising... Just now, the suspicious people seen at the tea shop were... Uchiha Itachi and... the mysterious Kirigakure ninja Hoshigaki Kisame." Kakashi just said easily but was tensing up.

"Well, well, you know my name... I'm honored..." Kisame smiled at him in amusement, hidden danger in his smile.

Kakashi just looked at him seriously with his Sharingan. "I see... You are one of the Mist's 'Seven Swordsman' and that large sword you wield is Samehada... Am I right?"

"Hehe..." Kisame chuckled dangerously. "I heard little Zabuza and you fought before..."

"Yup..." Kakashi just answered easily.

Kisame glared at him as his sword began to twitch slightly. "Hehe... It's an opportunity for me to do some slicing here..."

Itachi looked at him at that. "Kisame... Quit messing around...!"

Everyone looked at Itachi at that in surprise.

"You will take too long if you fight with him... If you take too long, other shinobi will arrive... But... Don't forget our mission. You didn't come here to get injured." Itachi stated calmly.

"So... What's this mission you speak of?" The Kakashi before Asuma asked while disappearing in a puff of smoke.

Itachi just looked at the place, where the Bunshin disappeared. Then, he looked intensively back at the real Kakashi. "We are looking for something..."

Kakashi narrowed his eyes at that, his Sharingan eye staring intensively back at Itachi. "...Looking for something? What are you looking for?"

Itachi just looked at him seriously at that before sunlight lightened his clothes and shadowed his face. "Unlike Kisame... I won't waste any time..."

Two blazing Sharingan eyes glared at each other. Itachi fastly took out some shuriken. Kakashi swiped quickly through hand signs. "Ninpou: Suiton: Suijinheki!" A water barrier formed around Kakashi just as the shuriken crashed into the water.

As the water barrier disappeared, Itachi still had the shuriken in his hand. 'His Jutsu is too fast... My eyes can't catch up with him... The shuriken in his right hand are used as a bait, and he's actually using Suiton to attack my legs.' Kakashi concluded seriously.
